Just a fun picture from Vladimir Kopylov near the summit of Mt. Ushba in the Caucasus Mountains. He’s been Mountainbeering for years on the other side of the world. The Caucasus Mountains lie between the Caspian and Black Seas near the border of Georgia and Russia.

When he’s not being one of the most awesome people I’ve ever come across, Vladimir also runs a tour company and has absolutely amazing pictures over at www.elbrus1.com… wait, that still makes him one of the most awesome people I’ve ever come across. I may have just found a new addition for my bucket list.
